deepening twilight
prickling scalp
warming air
incense-like odours
unknown blossoms
rolling valley
no identifiable light source
deep blue sky
blueness pervading the air
shadowless light
changeless luminance
long, soft, silver-hued, pale green grass
white Ashphodels and roses
tall, slim, milky-barked trees
a musical brook
white, green and blue phosphorescence
